We investigated the effects of estrogen on global myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats that were ovariectomized (Ovx), sham-operated, or ovariectomized and then given 17beta-estradiol (E(2)beta) supplementation (Ovx+E(2)beta). Hearts were excised, cannulated, perfused with and then immersed in chilled (4 degrees C) cardioplegia solution for 30 min, and then retrogradely perfused with warm (37 degrees C), oxygenated Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate buffer for 120 min. The coronary flow rate, first derivative of left ventricular pressure, and nitrite production were all significantly lower in Ovx than in sham-operated or Ovx+E(2)beta hearts. However, coronary flow rates or nitrate production were not consistently different throughout the entire reperfusion period. Ca(2+) accumulated more in Ovx rat hearts than in sham-operated or Ovx+E(2)beta hearts, and mitochondrial respiratory function was lower in Ovx hearts than in hearts from the other two groups. Marked interstitial edema and contraction bands were seen in hematoxylin-eosin-stained sections of Ovx rat hearts but not in hearts from either of the other groups. Hematoxylin-basic fuchsin-picric acid-stained sections revealed fewer viable myocytes in hearts from the Ovx group than from the sham or Ovx+E(2)beta group. Transmission electron microscopy demonstrated more severely damaged mitochondria and ultrastructural damage to myocytes in Ovx rat hearts. Our results indicate that estrogen plays a cardioprotective role in global myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in female rats.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D009206 Myocardium The muscle tissue of the HEART. It is composed of striated, involuntary muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC) connected to form the contractile pump to generate blood flow.

D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
